Thank you for the post. Your props should be safe from hangar rash for a long time. I always bring mine with me, and before I slide them on, I clean the bug residue off the blades. It will help to keep the insides of the covers clean too.

They also help to keep your back from getting gouged by the end of those P-Tips. Trust me, when you are working on the plane and get too close when standing up, one skinning like that down your backbone and you will be glad that you now have something to prevent it from happening!

While were on the subject of Karl's custom items, he made me up one of his cargo bags out of durable Cordura rather than the marine vinyl, and did it ever turn out nice. I'll get some pics and show you what I'm talking about. He does super nice work and it's well priced too!
